WATCH WINNER REVIEW: Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date
Josh G. was the winner of our September 2014 Hamilton watch giveaway and has come back with this watch winner review - for that we thank him and recognize his passion for the art. Please see our current watches-dealer giveaway for Maurice Lacroix Pontos S dive watch here.First, thank you Ariel Adams and watches-dealer for sponsoring the monthly watch giveaways. Also, thank you Hamilton for generously providing this watch for the September giveaway.After a week of owning the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date, I still remain impressed with the overall fit and feel of this piece.?This watch definitely was handsome right out of the box and set a strong first impression with me. This is my first aviator style watch and my first Hamilton. I will try and keep my observations as objective as possible.? My background with Swiss watches is rather shortI own one other Swiss automatic, a dark face Victorinox Officer's Day Date, so some of my observations are based off of my experience with that piece,

An Original Photograph Of Picasso And His Jaeger-LeCoultre Triple Date Moonphase
Yousuf Karsh was a photographer famed for his portraits of celebrities.? One such celebrity that he photographed on a few occassions was Pablo Picasso.? One original portrait of Picasso is coming up for sale via Christie's this afternoon witha pre-sale estimate of $5000-$7000.Why are we telling you this, you may be wondering?? Well, in this particular portrait, you can see Mr. Picasso wearing one heck of a nice watch.? What is it? It's a late 1940s Jaeger-LeCoultre triple date moonphase with teardrop lugs, one of JLC's most beautiful designs.? In fact, the watch looks very similiar to the JLC that is on the cover of Zaf Basha's Jaeger-LeCoultre book.For details on the photograph at Christie's, click here. DID YOU KNOW? Picasso was also known to wear a Rolex GMT-Master. 2 OF 2

Volcano arrived!
I am a big fan of Rolex and Panerai but my collection seemed boring to me and I kept looking to add something different and with orange being my favorite color Volcano was my choice. It arrived yesterday and I can't take it off my wrist, love it. Next watch would be AP again for sure. I think it fits perfect with my other boring watches...

Got my jubilee today!
Finally found a nice jubilee for my 16710 Pepsi! Love this look! Came to me on the 555 end links, so fit it slightly off. My AD is getting me the proper 502's so should have those soon. If you've been looking for one, just do it!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A Fish Can't Give You Love -or- Trade Explorer for Submariner
My ex-wife wanted a cat. I told her we can get a fish. She said A Fish Can't Give You Love.I'm starting to feel the same way about my 214270, now that I've had my Omega Speedmaster for a bit. I like actually interacting with my Speedy. I like to wind it. I like to use the Chrono - and I use it more than I ever imagined I would. And I enjoy looking at it.But looking at it is all I can do with my 214270, and that's all the love we'll ever have. Is the Explorer my fish that I like to look at, but it can't give me love back? It can't respond to me like a Chronograph or Diver's Bezel. If I had a Submariner, I could engage it to measure elapsed time. And I would also enjoy looking at it. Another Rolex option, I could engage the GMT, but I really don't need GMT - I don't mindf*ck myself when I'm in a different timezone. And I don't need to check time at the home office back East. The SkyDweller and YachtMonster are not for me. So maybe a Sub is in my future. I've learned
